Single mama, you doing out there
Facing the hard life without no fear, yeah
Just so you know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come you're well prepared,
Oh, no
No, mama, you never shed tear
'Cause you have to shed things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare, yeah
You find his school fee and the bus fare, yeah

Mmm, Marie, the pops' disappear
In the round back can't find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, everything you know
Say you nah stop no time – no time for your jear

Now she got a six-year-old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes
He don't know he is safe
